Zucchini (or Apple) Goodie

By 5 Comments

Several years ago I posted my great-great-aunt’s recipe for apple goodie. It is a very yummy apple crisp type of dessert. Since I had several zucchini I wondered if I could use the same recipe and get a similar result.

I made just a couple of changes and the result was an ooey-gooey dessert. Yum!

Zucchini (or Apple) Goodie
 
Ingredients
  • 5 Cups Chopped Zucchini or Apples
  • 1 Tbsp. Lemmon Juice (for Zucchini only)
  • 1 c. Sugar
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla
  • 1 tsp. Cinnamon
  • 1 c. Quick Oats
  • 1 c. Flour
  • 1 c. Brown Sugar
  • ¼ tsp. Baking Soda
  • ¼ tsp. Baking Powder
  • ½ c. Shortening or Lard
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Peel, chop, and remove the seeds from zucchini (or apples).
  3. Add lemon juice to the zucchini.
  4. Stir in sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon.
  5. Pour mixture into a greased 9 x 13 pan.
  6. In a bowl combine oats, flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and baking powder.
  7. Using a fork or pastry blender, mix the shortening or lard in with the oat mixture until it is crumbly.
  8. Pour the mixture over the apples in the pan.
  9. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.
Notes
I prefer to use lard or a natural shortening. I have not tested this recipe with butter.

Using zucchini gives the recipe a different taste than using apples, but both are yummy.

I like to eat this dessert while it is warm. It is really good with ice cream, too. I do recommend keeping leftovers in the refrigerator.

    Yum again! I will have to try this too. I wanted to ask you about your garden. Do you think you could give me the approximate dimensions of it? I am trying to figure out just how big I want my garden to be so I can start plotting it out. Seems yours is the perfect size.
